As I was posting I was thinking 'I hope Craig doesn't mention gteMIMefunc()...' Honestly, I don't know what gteMIMefunc() does, as I found the description in the green book cryptic. I'm no 3D wizard, only know the basics, I'll leave the hard stuff to you and RSDAnim. BTW, dl'ed 1.3 on the weekend, but haven't run it yet, as it's sitting on my BSD filesystem, inaccessable at the moment by Win 95. But before I even start I have a question: I have a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 card with the virge chip. I was running the provided drivers and then tried to install DirectX 5 from MS. It told me it didn't recognise my drivers or something and didn't appear to install properly. I'm damn sure that Direct3D won't be using the accellerated 3D in the Virge - so, where can I get drivers and DirectX 5 for my card that won't complain, anyone? Would the latest drivers from www.s3.com plus fresh DirectX 5 install work properly? -- Toby.
